Eighth-tier Ramsgate pulled off a shock 2-1 win over Vanarama National League side Woking at the WW Martin Community Stadium to book their place in round two of the FA Cup.

The Cardinals had taken the lead in the 13th minute through Dennon Lewis after he was played in by midfielder Morgan Williams.

Isthmian League South East Division side Ramsgate, though, slowly grew into the game and were back on level terms five minutes before the interval.

A long ball sent TJ Jadama behind the Woking defence and the midfielder stabbed the ball past Woking goalkeeper Will Jaaskelainen.

After seeing a goal ruled out just before the hour for offside, the Rams put themselves in front with 18 minutes left through a well-struck free-kick from Lee Martin.

Woking, who sit mid-table in the National League, pressed for an equaliser late on, forcing a couple of corners, but the Rams held out for a memorable win.
